About this property

Stunning 100-acre Riverfront Ranch & Orchard, Close to Wineries, Amazing Views.

Our guest house located on our 100-acre private ranch. The space is fresh and bright, providing a year-round, comfortable and relaxing environment. Stay, enjoy the company of friends and family, and unwind in a natural and tranquil setting. The sleeping options are flexible, with one fixed Queen bed, one King that can be split into Twin XLs, and a Twin or Queen option in the "Sunroom". There are two inviting bathrooms, including the master which has a spacious walk-in shower which is perfect for soothing tired muscles after an exhilarating day in the mountains. The open plan living area is equally well-suited to entertaining or to simply relaxing for a night in, and the kitchen facilities are equal to that of a typical family home. When not in use as a bedroom, the "Sunroom" is an ideal place to relax with a book or simply to enjoy the views of our special cottonwood tree, the birds and the deer that roam the fields leading down to the river. The Guest House has a patio area, with seating, dining table, a BBQ, and fantastic views. We also have a "rustic" indoor storage area for bikes, kayaks, paddleboards and any other toys you'd like to bring with you.

Guests at Palisade River Ranch have access to the trails across the main property, to the river and riverfront, and also the 1500 sq ft deck and screened gazebo down at the river. The riverfront and deck are great areas to enjoy a BBQ or campfire, to play games and to generally enjoy the serenity of our stretch of the Colorado. For those interested in floating the river, we have excellent put-in/take-out access. Guests can also explore our 45-acre riparian habitat, which is a great place to see an array of wildlife. (NB - The Visitors and Events Policy applies to all day/non-resident visitors and fees may apply. Access to some areas may be limited by seasonal restrictions, private parties or other events, and is subject to guests' agreement to a liability waiver).

Everything was spectacular! We were in town for a wedding and the accommodations were perfect for our family of 5 (3 younger kids). The property was beautiful sitting along the Colorado River and felt very private. We ran and walked each morning along the River front walk. The best part was the kids were allowed to collect eggs each day from a chicken coup and we had fresh eggs each morning! The area of Palisade had great food and wine. We also did the Palisade Rim Trail which was fun and beautiful! Thank you for being an excellent host!

Beautiful property, pet friendly, onsite ponds for fishing and nice accommodations. Was not aware the guest house was attached to owners house. They have their own dogs and they did greet us a few times. Was not a big issue but would like to know in advance that it was extension of owners home; it did have its own private entrance. House was comfortable and nice to have AC and fans as it was warm during our stay. We did enjoy the relaxing quiet area with lots of sitting areas outside. The fishing was really fun too. If you are into bicycling you should certain visit this area. We have a great time.

Perfect Location!

We had a great stay at Cameron and Jen's place. The house was adorable and had everything we needed. We struggled with the directions upon entry to the property with finding the door to the VRBO at night (can't find the red roof or a pond when everything is black/dark!), but other than that, was awesome. The sheets were so soft!! Sincere thanks.

Joyful

Our family so enjoyed our stay. We felt welcome to explore the whole ranch, and it felt like we had it all to ourselves. There was so much nature to enjoy, and no one ever got bored. Each day started by riding our bike down to the river and playing in the water. Our children are already asking to go back. The house had everything we needed, and Cameron and Jen were wonderful hosts.

Perfect location to explore Palisade and Grand Junction

We came to the area from iowa for a family wedding. Our son from La drove up to join us. We wanted a place to stay for us plus our son going to CMU. the ranch house was perfect. Quiet, peaceful, beautifully laid out and decorated. We had enough bedrooms plus a comfy living room, wonderful kitchen and outdoor space. No problems of any kind. Very clean and inviting

Great stay for mobility challenged

All the reviews are correct… beautiful property and wonderful hosts. Additionally, I greatly appreciated the accessibility of the property. The parking is very close to the door and only a few shallow/easy stairs into the house. There are wide doorways and a zero-entry shower with handheld sprayer. My only mild criticism would be that the mattresses could have been a little more comfortable. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and quiet. Our teen daughter absolutely loved the tiny toads and other creatures that were around. Great rental and we hope to return.

Our 5 day stay could not have been any better. The grounds of the property were perfect for walks and relaxing. The unit itself was excellent, well organized, super clean, and in excellent shape. The owners, Jen and Cameron were super friendly and very accommodating. We have stayed at many properties over the years, and Riverfront Ranch would definitely rate at the top. Will definitely consider a return visit to Palisade and a stay at Riverfront ranch.

We had such a peaceful and relaxing stay at this beautiful property! The setting is truly special—with orchards, the Colorado river to walk along, and a lovely patio that overlooks the orchards and a serene pond. We especially enjoyed the fresh eggs each morning—such treat! It is the perfect spot to spend a weekend. Highly recommend!
